Red Sox hitting coach Dave Magadan believes that Jason Bay will fit in perfectly with the Mets.

Bay is believed to be just a physical away from a four-year, $66 million deal with New York.

"He's a lunch-pail guy," said Magadan. "He's going to come in and play every day and play hurt, and he's going to be an asset to the Mets."

Magadan spent more than a season with Bay in Boston.
